Since we live in a desert and have gravel pits in town (where they mine away the mountain and turn it into gravel, sand, etc), dusting is an ongoing project in my house. I go through these duster things like crazy. So this past weekend, when I noticed I had tons of the handles that […]

Weekly Wash #8: Lucky Washcloths
There are lots of crochet patterns for washcloth/dishcloths. My favorites are ones that whip up quickly, can be made on a road trip without a lot of concentration and are thick and strong. I got lucky (hence the name… plus St. Patrick’s Day is on my mind lately) and these turned out to fit all […]
Weekly Wash #7: Twisted Scrubbie
Crocheted poufs are one of those things that I really like the finished project, but making them takes WAY longer than I want to spend on something I am going to use to wash the dishes or arm pits. Some even take an enormous amount of yarn and can be tricky to make. After trying […]
Weekly Wash #6: Beary Sweet Hanging Towel
Last year for Valentine’s Day I designed a “Beary Sweet Pouch“. I have always thought it would be cute as a hanging hand towel too. I definitely need some color in my life lately as the winter blahs are setting in. Northern Utah is either frozen and covered in snow or mucky mud…it changes daily. […]
Weekly Wash #5: White Board Cleaners
I kind of have an addiction to white boards (dry erase boards). I have several throughout the house, including a couple really big ones. After trying a bunch of different erasers and cleaning them often, my husband suggested using an old rag like he uses on his in the garage (yep, even he has one […]
Weekly Wash #4: Penguin Hanging Towel
Penguins are one of my favorites and I thought they would make a cute hanging towel. Winter in Utah can get pretty blah in January so I wanted to make my penguin a little more colorful. Of course he would be cute in traditional black as well. He has a strap at the back to […]
Weekly Wash #3: Chill Buddy
This week’s “wash” project has an extra purpose. Yes, it can be a scrubbie or soap saver, but the main reason behind it is to hold a round cold pack. In December our youngest son got the flu really bad and was down for almost two weeks. Several of those days were spent with a […]
Weekly Wash #2: January Scrubbie
This year I am posting a new pattern for a cloth of some kind each week. People have seemed to enjoy our first one of the year, “January Washcloth“. This week’s scrubbie is very similar, but made with 2 strands held together and a J hook. One end is left open so your hand can […]
Weekly Wash #1: January Washcloth
I love making washcloths, hanging towels and scrubbies. They are a great project for in the car and waiting rooms. I try to whip up several throughout the year and build a stash for last minute gifts. A few years ago I featured and designed a different cloth or scrubbie each week the entire year. […]
